Most recently Jeremy has had the honor of being one of the few practitioners in the United States to learn and practice Electron Adaptive Neurotherapy, which is a sports medicine & Orthopedic acupuncture technique that helps to resolve chronic pain conditions.
Jeremy was first exposed to Oriental medicine as a teenager after he was advised by a number of Western medical specialists to no longer play sports because of debilitating knee pain. As an avid basketball player and lover of sports in general, this was a heavy blow. In his search for answers that did not include surgery or giving up sports altogether, he tried acupuncture. The experience and success of the treatment forever changed the way he viewed medicine.
